The importance of Dalit votes in Haryana
The New Indian Express
|October 03, 2024
WITH campaigning for the Haryana assembly polls coming to an end on Thursday, all eyes are on the Dalit votes, which comprise 20% of the state's population.
With new alliances such as BSP-INLD and JJP-Azad Samaj Party testing the waters, the caste dynamics have changed the political landscape, say observers.
While the main contenders, the Congress and the ruling BJP, are going all-out to woo the Dalit communities, the grand old party is harping on the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where the Dalit voters have shown a favorable shift towards it.
The Congress garnered 68% of Dalit votes in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, whereas the BJP managed to get 24%. The results were a huge setback for the BJP, as it obtained 51% of Dalit votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections while the Congress had only 25%.
